What is Native American banking?
Native American Banking is defined as the business activity of a financial institution such as a bank or credit union to provide financial services to help support individuals, families, and businesses of Native Americans across the USA. Specifically, Native American-owned or Native American-focused financial institutions accept and lend out money in order to help facilitate economic activities in the regions Native Americans live and work.

Local Bank
Local Bank (formerly the Bank of Cherokee County) was founded in 1907, the year Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory united as the State of Oklahoma. This native-owned bank was founded by a group of prominent members of the Cherokee Nation. As the only bank in the town of Hulbert, Oklahoma, and with branches in Tahlequah and Park Hill, Oklahoma, Local Bank sees its responsibilities extending beyond what is usually thought of as “ordinary” banking functions. Unlike "ordinary" banks, Local Bank invests 95% of deposits back into Cherokee County.
Community reinvestment is nothing new to Local Bank, the the only female, Native-owned financial institution in the United States. Since the bank’s founding at the turn of the century, its mission has been to serve its community.

Bay Bank
Bay Bank has a long and proud history of standing for its customers’ future. This native-owned bank was founded in 1995 by the Oneida Nation and a group of five local businessmen, the original mission of Bay Bank was to provide the Greater Green Bay area with a locally controlled financial institution that would be free from mergers and consolidations that had become common with larger financial institutions in the region.
In 2000, the Oneida Nation became the sole owner of Bay Bank, which had already grown to $65 million in assets. The operations, policies—and locally focused mission— of the bank remained similar to the mission before the purchase by the Oneida Nation but were enhanced as Bay Bank provided more federally funded programs to directly assist tribal members. In addition, Bay Bank and the Oneida Nation developed unique mortgage and entrepreneurial programs to assist Oneidas in obtaining housing and starting business ventures.
Today, Bay Bank has assets over $100 million and a dedicated team of 29 employees with two convenient locations for customers in the Greater Green Bay area.

Eagle Bank
Eagle Bank is truly a “Community Bank” with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes owning the bank on behalf of their approximately 8,000 members. Eagle Bank is unique because it is one of very few banks owned by a Native American Tribe and the only bank whose holding company is organized under Section 17 of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. While Eagle Bank is tribally owned, it is open to everyone and seeks to provide competitively priced financial services to all residents located in Lake County and the surrounding areas.
Eagle Bank is the result of nearly two decades of research and development into the feasibility and potential for a tribally-owned financial institution and represents a logical extension of the Tribes investment in economic development on the Flathead Reservation.
